Oregon 200 Freezes/hangs

I recently picked up an Oregon 200 and updated the firmware to the latest version, but the unit freezes or hangs momentarily when typing/spelling names of poi's or other things in. Sometimes it hangs when moving from menu to menu. The unit eventually comes back and works as normal but it's very annoying, and since it is a brand new unit I wonder if something is wrong. Is this normal, and is there a way to stop it from hanging?

FYI: I use the device for basic navigating on foot - no geocaching, etc. I have City Navigator NT maps for Europe and NA on a micro SD card (4GB). All maps are enabled including the world base map. (as a side note, when the device is connected to the computer, the update website keeps telling me I need to update the software, but the latest firmware is installed on the unit now...(??)

Update: readiong through some foirums it appears this was an issue with the 2.96 firmware - the second letter of a POI manual entry when typing it on would hang - this is the same issue I am having but I have 3.80 installed which is the latest firmware - what gives?
